THE VIEWS OF INSTRUCTORS ON THE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE AT THE SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the views of university instructors on organizational climate. The phenomenology pattern was used in this study to reveal the events that instructors experienced related to the organizational climate and the meaning they attributed to these events. The criterion sampling method, one of the purposive sampling methods, was used in this study. Eight instructors of English working at the school of foreign languages of four different foundation universities in Ankara in 2017-2018 academic year took part as the participants in this study. The qualitative data was collected via the interviews. Content analysis and descriptive analysis methods were used in the process of data analysis. The findings from the analysis showed that the organizational climate was affected by the organizational structure and management style, leadership and the communication networks. The findings from the analysis also showed that the most common power source was legal power and this situation mostly caused instructors to feel a closed and autocratic organizational climate. However, the relations among employees had more positive characteristics in comparison to the relation between administrators and the employees, so improving management styles could contribute to the efficiency of the school of foreign languages.
